Girls’ Holiday Gifts, and We Don’t Mean RC Excavator

This article is not for those who have a son. Not for those who read such articles and looks for presents like drone with camera or remote control police car.

Of course, as a father you would like to buy something like RC excavator or RC bulldozer or other remote control construction toys to your child, but nope! You have got a beautiful little princess, who in the future will probably share your interests and search with you in Top Race for interesting toys. But not now, Father. Be ready to wedding collections, dolls, pink toys and LEGO (the last one is meant for building beauty shops).

Parents usually make a mistake when thinking that all these dolls and toys are absolutely innocent and frivol. Just the other way round, they are greatly influenced by such products like Bratz or Barbie, and playing with these dolls form a mode of behavior. With such “family-to-be” games every girl is taught what people expect of them and what they will be esteemed and appreciated for.

It’s not only an entertainment and games. All these playing with kitchens, pink cleaners and crowns are instruments which get girls ready for a role of so-called care-takers (and wives, consequently). Well, if your daughter has fun when cooking or cleaning in a doll’s house, she learns important skills for life. But what concern parents, is that toys are excessively aimed at boys who, as a rule, prefer toys like remote control construction toys like RC excavator .

Nowadays, market of girls’ toys is soaked with hyper sexualization and hatred toward females. Experts dispute that there is no room in modern marketing for those boys who don’t want playing with RC excavator, but like playing dolls and puppies, and those girls who are fond of technical stuff like RC excavator or RC bulldozer or other remote control construction toys.

So, what should we do for our daughter not to become a pink pie? Here is a roll of inspiring, funny and learning gifts for youth which are more than just gender.
